5 Simple Daily Prayers
Victoria Vosler

God is calling us to a life of constant communion with Him. He has promised to meet all our needs according to His glorious riches.

"And God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:19

Even though the days may seem cluttered accept them as is, remembering that our deepest, most constant need is for His Peace. Talk with God about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Look at your heart like a garden, where God lives. God has planted a seed that needs to be watered in everyone's heart, but God also gives us a free will. Will you water your seed today or will you let the weeds of pride, worry, selfishness, and unbelief choke it out? God is the Gardener, and He is working to rid your heart of those weeds. Meet with him in the midst of the morning quietly, and let him do His work through you. A successful day is one in which you've stayed in touch with Him, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day.

I've learned to pray continually and to acknowledge him so that he can make my paths straight.

"Pray continually." -Thessalonians 5:17

"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" -Proverbs 3:6

Do not let your to-do list become an idol directing your life.When you trust God in the midst of trouble and chaos, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Here are a few daily prayers to get you started on your journey:

Surprise me God

Before time began, He knew you. God is constantly creating something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others' lives. A surprise is awaiting you everyday. If you choose to pursue it, that is your choice. In order to experience what God has in store we must ask and we must believe in His promise.

Let them see You through me today

Let the love of God stream through you, washing away fear and distrust. Nothing is more beautiful than one who lives for God. When you walk through a day trusting in the Lord, letting Him live through you, your aching heart is soothed and your faced radiates with His glory. Hold His hand and trust Him in this day so others may know that He is The Way and Truth.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32

Jesus answered,"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

Help me God

As you listen to the birds and cattle call out to one another, hear also God's Love-call to you. He speaks continually, although it's not always through what you may think. I find him in my horses eyes and hear Him in their steps. There is no limit to the ways He can reach you. If you feel lost, afraid, hopeless, or without words just say, "Help me God."

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:13

When you feel fearful or anxious, repeat this promise:

Nothing can separate me from Your Love

I know that most of my misery comes from feeling unloved. In the midst of all my adversities, even I feel that love has been withdrawn and that I have been forsaken. Be assured that He will never leave you or forsake you. He watches over us continually. Instead of looking at all the bad things that have gone wrong in a situation or even life, I urge you to look at what you learned and what good came out of your trails. Sometimes God gives his biggest trails to those who are strong enough, so that we may be able to give our wisdom through Him to those who are not.

For those who are enemies or need guidance in their life:

God, bless them with Your Grace and Your Mercy

Not only does He love you, but He also loves the ones who we may think is unworthy of it. If you feel like someone is haunting you, bless them. If you feel the dread of ones words dragging you down, bless them. If someone is always lurking in the back of your mind, pray for them! The more we trust in God, the more He blesses us! Let go and let God!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
